Minor Moves: Doug Bernier

The Twins have signed utility infielder Doug Bernier to a minor league contract for 2013, tweets Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press. The 33-year-old made just his second MLB appearance last year, about five years after he got a brief showing with the Rockies. He put up a .226/.339/.283 line in 64 plate appearances, though in 353 trips to the Triple-A dish he managed a .295/.370/.407 slash. Bernier had been outrighted off of the Minnesota 40-man just over a week ago.
